Meet the plant
Elegant Rush

Meet oioi, the jointed wire rush: a slender coastal native whose fine, cylindrical stems ripple in shades of blue-green and gold along New Zealand's estuaries and salt marshes. Segmented like tiny threaded joints, it forms soft, rustling stands that seem to sway with every breath of coastal wind.

Read more

Apodasmia similis (formerly Leptocarpus similis), known to Māori as oioi, is a wiry perennial in the restio family (Restionaceae) found around much of New Zealand. Its leafless, cylindrical stems are divided into neat joints and turn from blue-green to warm bronze-gold, growing in dense, spreading clumps. Oioi is a plant of the coastal edge, thriving in salt marshes, estuaries, dune hollows and lake margins where fresh and salt water meet. Male and female flowers grow on separate plants. Its tough, creeping rhizomes bind soft estuarine mud, making it a valued species in wetland and dune restoration, while its fine stems give a characteristic whispering rustle in the wind.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Explore Help Center
What is a stock flower essence?

A stock essence is the concentrated form of a single flower essence. It can be taken directly from the bottle or used to create a personalised blend.

First Light® stock essences are available as individual New Zealand native flower essences and combination essences, so you can choose and combine the essences to support how you are feeling or what you need help with.

How do I choose the right flower essence for me?

Start with how you are feeling and what you would most like support with right now.

You can explore keywords and information on each flower essence page, use the repertory to browse essences by feeling or need, or use the Constitutional Essence for a sense of inner balance and alignment.

If you would like a personal recommendation you can send us a message or book in for a no obligation free consultation.

How many essences can I combine?

Up to eight essences from No 1 to No 184 can be combined in a single personalised blend. No 0 Black Orchid can be added to any blend as a ninth essence.

This allows you to select a combination of essences to support the different emotional, energetic or personal growth needs.

Do flower essences contain alcohol?

Yes, generally flower essences contain a small amount of brandy, ethanol or grape as a natural preservative. To reduce the alcohol taste, add your drops to water.

How long does it take to notice a difference with flower essences?

It depends on the essence and the person. With an essence like Crisis Support for emergency or emotional first aid situations some people notice a difference within 15 to 20 minutes. Most people feel a shift within a few days. In general it takes about one month for changes to occur, and another month to integrate them.
